Whenever I watch a new show and am not sure what to expect, it's usually within those first 10 minutes of a show that can decide if the shows right for me or not. When I came across Euphoria, I really wasn't sure what to expect, I had a read a synopsis and it sounded intriguing so I gave it go. Wouldn't you know it within the first 10 minutes I was hooked.

The shows can sometimes feel too real, whether you're a teenager or an adult. It revolves around a few characters such as Zendaya ( Spider-Man: Homecoming) who has had trouble with drugs, and a near death experience with her family and her quest to get clean, which feels like an up and down battle, as she lies to everyone around her about her experience and taking drugs. When a new girl comes to town named Jules, she realizes she's in love with her as she has hew own secret that she is a trans woman.

Other characters include Nate, who is the football star who is trying to define his sexuality, Kat who has had sex and now starts doing cam shows for money and much more.

Every episode is edited perfectly, I rarely say that but every episode with its dark matter and subject, always seems to have either a bright light with dark background, or happy music through a troubled time. There are moments where an episode can feel frantic or crazy, and every editing can make the viewer feel how they are feeling in that moment.

Without giving to much away the show deals with many aspects of addiction, being true to yourself, coming to terms with your identity, coming of age. Many themes revolve and all the actors do a fantastic job of bringing these characters to life and making the show feel as real as it does.

While I was never sure what to expect, Euphoria takes shows such as Degrassi and 13 Reasons Why and then takes a lot of the subject matter that we've seen in that show to feel more dark yet also more hit home type of show. It may not be everyone's cup of tea but after 5 Episodes, I am still thinking about it, still anticipating newer episodes, and where they can go. It's a show that sticks with you after every episode and isn't afraid to go into the territory other shows have gone.

Euphoria, is a show that should be watched not just for the content and story but just overall how much the whole team on this show gives in every aspect. A worthwhile watch.

Well here we are! First MCU Movie of the year including one of the most powerful heroes in comics Captain Marvel! She will be playing a huge part in the new Avengers Endgame movie due later in May this year. But does it hold up and is the hype worth it surrounding this movie? Meh. At least that was my thinking after the film.

Captain Marvel played by Brie Larson brings a new type of hero into the MCU universe. As we get a backstory of Carol Danvers/ Veers exploring how they came to be who they are. The setting takes place party in space and partly on earth around 1995-1996. The movie does a great but minimal job at expanding the 90's setting with music, memorabilia, clothing and such. It mainly the story that sort of falls flat.

Brie Larson does a good job but I felt her wit and character brought a good amount to the role even though I felt her acting felt somewhat dry and uninspired. In short the movie reviles around finding out how Captain Marvel came to be from her fighting alongside the Kree to take out a species called the Skrull. Now if you have watched any other MCU movie mainly Guardians, you'll know the twist right away revolving around the Kree's.

In terms of other actors Samuel L Jackson does a great job as Fury and of course the "cat" steal the show. I won't spoil too much but the humor as per every MCU movie is on point and well done.

Visually the movie looks fantastic as per every MCU movie but the story and development really just feel out place it just doesn't seem to come together cohesively, and this was a movie I wanted to love and walk out being floored and wanting to see again. Sadly I just felt the movie falls short in terms of story and character development. It just feels like a regular movie and nothing really differentiating it, in an honest word it feels forgettable.

While i implore everyone to definitely check it out, and for sure the Marvel crowd will be sticking around for any hints and clues towards Endgame coming out, the movie after it was done didn't really hold my mind to thinking further on it. It didn't make me want to talk a lot about it with friends or family the movie just felt shallow with a nice a coat of paint to mask the drab by the numbers plot.

In all was not bad just a big meh, but here is hoping the next route for our Hero will be epic and see some great villains in it as well.

Suicide Squad was probably one of my most anticipated titles of 2016 for the summer ever since the announcement and my love for both Marvel and DC and especially after the amazing animated title Assault on Arkham which if you haven;t seen you definitely should a great animated title with the suicide squad and batman and joker all together. It's hard to say what exactly the issue was here but mostly it feels like the start of the movie it's going to be fun but falls flat afterwards. Much like Guardians of the Galaxy which was a surprising hit for me and others this movie seems to lose it's fun afterwards.

First off lets talk characters. Will Smith was obviously the star as was Margot Robbie who stole the show as Harley Quinn and nailed the character perfectly, Will Smith played..... Will Smith he didn't encompass the Deadshot I know and love from the comics which I can accept but he just didn't play anything other Captain Hillard, Agent J with a new set of weapons and skills,IE it's nothing new to the role and he doesn't bring much here. Viola Davis does a bang up job as Amanda Waller she's psychotic horrible person, who's either your best friend or worst enemy, not good not bad but she'll do anything to get what she wants. The rest of the cast does a great job also and their chemistry is bang on and then there's Jared Leto's Joker..... I remember when people bashed Heath Ledger for the role of it and ended up being amazing in TDK, Jared Leto when he got the part I have to admit was excited to see how he'd bring life to the role, and even after the backlash of how his character looked, I still wanted to give him a chance, as I would with any character. Sadly The Joker is not only underused but the character is just off and seems to be there as a selling point for people to go see the movie as The Joker is one of the most popular villains of all time, yet here he's given not much time, and not much to do with the role. The rest of the squad are OK El Diablo is fun and Captain Boomerang is a very guy, all in all their chemistry together is fantastic, the quips, jokes and fun they have, shines on the screen.

The Story is easy, a bunch of criminals are set up after the death of superman to be controlled by government to do missions no one else will do and if they die, so be it they're criminals anyways, and if they survive they get benefits and time knocked off their sentence. Of course one of the squad decides to disobey and cause a ruckus ( Enchantress) and then decides to let her brother out and start building a weapon and destroy everyone so it's up to the suicide squad to take her down and save humanity. Sad part the villain is very boring... both of them are, and this would've been good to have maybe used the joker as a means to be the villain much like Assault on Arkham, but we get a very bland villain with silly motivations and while the first half of the film has a unique style and flare, the second part drags and stops using that fun throughout. Guardians seemed to use the formula correctly whereas SS seems to have tried to make it fun dark and fun. It could've been good but in the end much of the film suffers from just pacing issues, being bland and story dragging out. It's not to say the movie is bad the cast works great the characters are fun but the movie as a whole just felt in one word very meh... Not bad not memorable not great just OK.

Decide on yourself if the movie is good or not you may hate or love it, but in all just felt there could've been more done, here's hoping much like the BVS extended cut the Suicide Squad is given extended look when it comes to home video.
